What type of spray setup for limited use on furniture and trim?

[munzzzzzzz]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie here looking for some guidance and advice on the best type of spray setup.  I'm looking for something that my wife could use to spray latex paint on old furniture she wants to refinish, that could ideally also be used to spray finish on trim (precat laquer has been suggested - I'm going to finish the trim for the house we'll be building in Spring).  I've done a lot of research already but there are so many options I don't know where to start.  I've looked at the Wagner and Graco self-contained units they sell at the big box stores, as well as turbine-based systems like the Fuji Mini-Mite, and also spray guns that work off of a compressor (I have a compressor capable of 5.3CFM @ 90 PSI).  I don't want to spend a ton of money as this will not be a profit-making purchase, but would like something that is easy to use, produces a good finish, and ideally is easy to clean up.

Any suggestions?

I'd use water based products if you can. I'm going to say 5 or 6 stage HVLP for this one, perhaps Fuji's new unit? I have a Graco 9.5 which has been great.

I think this is right for you guys because you can quickly load up the tool and clean it easily. No priming the lines like an Airless. Its also really portable and you can put it on a shelf when not in use. My graco is big enough for latex, 5 stages is the lowest you should go.

Because you're planing on spraying exterior waterborne paints I wouldn't recommend an HVLP. Like Tom mentioned, the Graco Pro Shot Fine Finish would be a good choice based on your needs.

If you want something a little larger a Graco GX19 might work, but I still think that the Pro Shot would be a better fit for you.

All Pro Shots are battery operated.

There's a corded Graco TrueCoat Pro II. Would love to have one of these.

I've also been looking for another sprayer although I'm looking at the cordless models.  I have a Titan 440 airless and an old Capspray HVLP but often could use something more portable for small jobs.  I was researching the Graco Graco Pro Shots and was confused as to the price difference.  Turns out the fine finish has a enclosed brushless motor...thus making it suitable for spraying solvent based finishes

You can use any "non-flammable" solvent with the Graco Truecoat Pro II.
